Tecuiyetl (MH502r)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Tecuiyetl {"Wrap for Tobacco," attested here as a man’s name) shows a tobacco or incense tube (iyetl), which is black on the upper half and natural on the bottom. The tube is upright, coming out of a plant that might be featured for its leaves, which could be used for wrapping (tecuiya) the tobacco tube. The plant leaves and flowering stalk curve somewhat. The tube leans somewhat to the viewer's right, and the plant leans left.
